>>11547878>jacket piece/jacket arms apparently there was one on Amazon for as little as $14 but it's currently sold outalso, having to buy an accessory that should be fucking included sucks ass
>>11547878Armor Hal for 22 is a rip off. He was on sale for like 12 bucks online recently. Too niche a look for a wide release.
>>11547920McFarlane screwed over Death and Return of Superman fans so bad.1. Producing tease newer versions before the classics to extract maximum profit.2. Real Superboy is entirely incomplete without customizing that destroys the first Superboy figure and still has no glasses even then, so still incomplete.3. Horrible, inaccurate Steel with droopy hammer and weird mixed plastic and/or paint splotch experiment because who knows why.4. Making Cyborg Superman near impossible to find due to Gamestop being the only place that had preorders and then Walmart canceling almost any order in sight.5. Eradicator stuck with inaccurate sculpted boot outlines and zany cape that is only good for power-posing.
>>11547979You’re wrong, but that’s okay. I’m happy with what Todd gave us.
>>11548004Seems accurate to me
>>11547979don’t forget how eradicator has Buzz Lightyear’s jaw for some reason
>>11547971For being new, one Target I was at had him on Clearance, although it was a smushed box.
>>11548101Problem is, stores have no idea what characters and looks are actually in demand, and figures are still distributed in waves which is really dumb as far as a perspective of allowing in demand figures to sell through their full stock by allowing reorders of popular figures. So the Target exclusive Cyborg Superman is getting sent to Walmarts because Target didn't reorder enough since he was packed with transparent Eradicator that no one wanted. So a peg warmer made an in demand figure hard to get. Ideally they'd just not make peg warmers but for some reason McFarlane Toys think "COOL VARIANTS" sell when people just want the canon look for the character.Likewise, Armored Hal probably kept Target from reordering some other popular characters as well that were packed with him, since Armored Hal is a somewhat niche look and people already know the issue with that hammer.
Ive got a yellow batman and a bulls eye patterned batman but my heart still feels empty.
>>11548319That's the way it is with the weird rare variants. You think you want it and you seek it out and are happy when you find it, but then you get the figure in hand and it's...just a figure. There's no reason to hunt for these things. None of them are worth it.
>another DC threadSTOP
>>11536435>Order from Amazon My Amazon order came and I already have it set for a return because Amazon ALSO SENT ME THE FUCKING CHASE,I've just been lazy this weekend to go drop it off at a Whole Foods>>11536165>as a business practice should be illegal. >that isn’t what you ordered and that isn’t what you wantYep, exactly. Now I have to try for a third time at BBTS or elsewhere, or just give up. At least it's not costing me gas.
>>11548354You have 9 LEGO Gens plus three stealth threads to pick from, if that's what you'd prefer, sisterNo one is holding a toy gun to your head forcing you to post here
>>11548355This getting a random chase you don't want stuff pissed me off to no end. That and how difficult it is to get even normal releases makes me glad McFarlane is mostly producing very weird niche characters now and will be losing the license soon.
Lego considers the critical and commercial success of Superman 2025 a fluke, so don't expect much Superman from Lego in the future. Instead, Lego is eagerly anticipating the much delayed Batman 2.
>>11548374I dont get why Batman is getting so delayed either.
>>11548382The fact that Matt didn't have a completed script before the writer's strike is really on him. And he had no family illness to point to at that point in time. I mean, seriously. He went into Warner Brothers in fucking 2016/2017 and conned them into giving him a three picture deal and control of their Batman franchise with a pitch about THREE actual pictures. It took him from 2017 to 2022 to push out one movie, and part of that can be blamed on COVID. Only about two years of that was spent writing. He's now spent longer just on a sequel script. And probably has no fucking idea what the third movie will be about or even what anyone would call a rough outline.
>>11548382It isn't being delayed, they're saying Matt Reeves is still working on the script, which is code for them waiting to see how Superman did and whether they want to pursue a Justice League with them together or keep them separate. It's all about which path would make them the most money. The script, which is always mostly dictated by the studio anyway with which villains to use and which stories they want to adapt, is most likely finished and they're just making world building changes to link things together. WB also wants their new movies to shine and gain a following on their own before playing the Batman card.Batman is the one character they have left they can make money with so they're super cautious about not letting it turn poison again like after Batman and Robin. That's why the Batgirl movie was disappeared.
>>11548395They're just saying he has a plan. Directors of those things don't really have any control over the stories, they're just handed coloring books by the studios and told to stay inside the lines.
What the hey dude
>>11548402Yeah. Just can’t go for it. It really sucks because David is a great choice for Superman and he understands the character better than Gunn. That behind the scenes of Gunn poking him in the chest and to cry because Lex hurt his feelings is surreal. Absolute clusterfuck. https://youtu.be/0IwY7Mfzw_w?si=ggivmPuXC8b4IY_VThe fact they thought this should be released is insane.
>>11548414Gunn should’ve been punched. Fuck that poking shit.
>>11548414>>11548402he was talking to a dog, you retards.
>>11548462DC Gen: dumb cunt general
What was the grapefruit Todd was so excited about relating to DC Multiverse in that one interview? He said one day he would reveal something and say "remember the grapefruit?"
>>11548469Task force platinum darkseid
>>11548398They had a finished script, that they presented to RPatz's business manager and agent so he would sign off on it. Y'all can keep listening to idiots yelling at you on YT for clicks and following imbeciles on xshitter who do it for the clout but Batpatinson and CorenSupes are never going to be in a movie together and never were. >not letting it turn poison again like after Batman and RobinGunn's also still working with Maschetti (sp?) and the writer(s) on the script for Batman and Robin which will either feature Dick Bats and the Demon Spawn or Bruce and the Demon Spawn, so you're going to get your live action Robin shoved down your throat and learn to love it, anon.
>>11548488it is the right colors at least
>>11548490They aren’t going to run two batmen at the same time and they aren’t going to wait 5 more years to introduce a Gunn version. The Batman will be folded in.
>>11548414>I HAVE HECKIN FEELINGS AND YOU HURT THEM AND THAT MAKES ME SAD AND ALSO A HUMAN EVEN THOUGH I'M LITERALLY A SPACE ALIEN>STOP SAYING #SUPERSHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHSuperman acts like a whiny teenager and you have retards saying "James Gunn did it! He gave us the true Superman from my childhood!"
>>11548518Nobody's ever said that here. You're arguing with your delusions again, faggot.
>>11548520>delusionsKeep projecting, troon.
>>11548518I think they went too far in the opposite direction, it should be a healthy medium between Gunn Superman and Man of Steel Superman. Although Gunn was closer to the comics imo.
>>11548524Gunn's DC feels more in line with Silver Age DC, or even Grant Morrison DC. The movie definitely gave me the same vibes as All Star Superman.
>>11548395>>11548414>>11548518>>11548491Wrong.>>11548398>>11548464>>11548532>>11548510Correct.
James Gunn is a talented and intelligent man, I trust him to know what’s best for movie goers and toy collectors
>>11548553>okays dog shit suits that don’t translate to action figures
>>11548557The suit was fine
>>11548557Lex's suit was fine.
>hating suitsYeah why didn't Lex just wear crocs and sweat pants and a band t-shirt from when he was in high school? Fuck Gunn.
>>11548565That is how he dresses when he goes grocery shopping after all. He calls it 'comfy' but it just looks lazy.>fuck gunnIs that sex pistols cover band?
>>11548532Grant Morrison DC seemed very silly
>>11548518>it’s only Superman if it’s MY Superman, ie the stone faced stoic one from tas>or, if you’re a big time faggot, the douchey messianic Snyder oneGunn made literally the best Superman movie of all time and the seethe is unreal
>>11548714Stop arguing with yourself.
>>11548720Ok Paul
>>11548714You can make a good superman without him being a stoic. But there are some definite weird out of character moments in Gunn's Superman movie, and it would've been better had Gunn put less of his own feelings into the character. We all know this movie was essentially about his cancelation on twitter a few years back and it is really bald faced and obvious.
>>11548510They don't have B&R cast, zoomie.They don't yet have a finished script. So it won't be happening at 'the same time.'Unless Matt fucks up even more, Batpatinson 2 will be a late Fall 2026 or March/May/June 2027 release.That's about when they will be FILMING, at best, Batman and Robin. Probably not even then at the rate they are going.It feels like Gunn is the only one who works fast, probably because no one is rejecting his scripts and making them re-write them like he does to everyone else.Even if B&R released in 2029/2030 - which is the earliest possible dates, no normie is going to fucking care that there's been two Batpatinson movies before it.No one besides YOU will be confused.No one besides YOU will find a non-Elseworld Batman to be anything stranger than Aquaman wearing a lot of clown paint and ugly motorcycle jackets/pants and calling himself the Main Man next year.
>>11548735He’s been written by over a thousand different people and it’s all considered canon, what’s “out of character” is subjective at best
>>11548642Ive never read his 'main line' dc stuff aside from some of the jla stuff but i just wasnt a big fan of the art. Ive read several old interviews where he says he loved silver age dc and the wackiness of those stories
When will we get something from Camelot 3000
>>11548642Morrison really tried to evoke all eras of comics into his work. Read his Batman run where everything is considered canon, from the pulp detective shit from the 30s and 40s, the campy goofiness of the 50s and 60s, the swashbuckling adventurer of the 70s, the dark and grim vigilante of the 80s and 90s, and the Bat God of modern times. It really is something special imo.
>>11548642>t. never read Morrison
>>11548464
>>11548901NTA, but at times, he absolutely can be. Like I said, he pulls from every era of comics.
>>11548735What's funny is he said he relates with Lex.
>>11548928So he admits to being a psychopath openly. How disturbing.
>>11548901Vyndktvx is some of the silliest shit to appear in a modern comic
>>11548966I heard he want to become president.
>>11548880Insider hereIts coming in a wave with wild dog and bat mite. The rene montoya Question will be a red platty.
>>11548994literally nobody gives a shit anymore
>>11548916>>11548972Silver Age isn't "silly" (e.g. frivolous or foolish); in the eyes of many audience members, maybe it's corny - but comic bookish or cartoonish are more accurate descriptors
>>11549006lmao, at this point you're arguing semantics. Regardless of the vernacular you use, I do feel their were elements in the new Superman movie that leans into the Silver Age feeling stuff, same for the Morrison. I mean, Lex having a cadre of literal monkeys shitposting about Superman online feels like it was ripped right from a Morrison book.
>>11549009no
>>11548994Aw yeah, a red platty, she all but natty! Toddy Mac got ya back with a new shovel load of plastic crack!
>>11549059Wow two hands. Don't go bankrupt Todd.
>>11549059Probably almost as stupid as the blue Eradicator - my local Target had 5 of 'em last week and still had all those today when I went and got BBQ crap.
>>11549009Semantics can matter, anon.The Scooby Do comic books are, by your definition, silly. Morrison can use elements you (and other anons) want to call silly, but they are used to make a point. Scooby just wants snacks. Shaggy just wants snacks.The kids just want to meddle. There's nothing controversial or complicated or deep about the silliness in Scooby Doo.
>>11548994Crikey
>>11548994Camelot is a laundry list of characters, sweetie, not just one 'it' At least be the insider who knows the characters, not the insider who steam cleans the carpets after Todd has gotten his toe fungus all over it
>>11549289You are reading into things WAY too hard anon. Get a grip and stop looking for reasons to argue with people.
>>11549459My mom says i can be who ever i want to be when i grow up! I choose to be an insider, whether you like it or not. Good day sir
>>11549560This is on Gunn for okaying god awful character designs.
>>11549560Why did we get a Metamorpho figure for the movie but no Guy Gardner?
>>11549567All they had to do was repaint Mr terrific and make a new head
Jessica Cruz is a chase. No one will ever get her. Todd, your line can't end soon enough.
>>11549612His company is fucked if that makes you feel any better
The Batman Returns penguins are going to be its own individual pack at the price of a deluxe theatrical. Pegwarming Level: Extreme
>>11549612Dude, we all know how hard these are to find. Just get a yellow batman and be happy you got a new a toy instead of being sad you didnt get what you wanted. Todd is teaching us life lessons with multiverse but you cant see the forest for the trees.
>>11550070Todd is teaching us dating advice. Don't go for the 10/10 Jessica Cruz brunette bombshell, you'll never get her. That's why he makes female figures so hard to find. Instead he says settle for billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.
>>11549612Nobody cares about that character.
>>11549560All they had to do was include a kryptonite hand and I would already own it. Or Joey ffs. Instead they included almost nothing.
>>11550160If it's a female figure, people will go after it solely due to Todd's proclamations against female figures selling. He probably tripled his female figure sales by doing that.
>>1155016924.99 doesn't buy a lot of McFarlane Toy these days. I think the basics are now up to 26.99 but MM was still released under the 24.99 MSRP.
>>11550172Target seems to be keeping costs down by a few dollars, compared to other sellers. I've no idea about Walmart since there are none near me and buying on-line from them is mostly pointless third party sellers.>>11549566Metamorpho is pretty accurate to his comic book design, unless you want him in BVD type brief looking trunks or boxer brief trunks; the board shorts was a good practical response.I agree, Coronswet suits suck ass and the Justice Gang suits were more MEH than not, especially sticking a fucking GREEN Lantern in one - and the color scheme makes no sense unless there's some Lord Tech reason - that the movie should have explained if that was the case.But Metamorpho, Lex, and Ultraman (as a slim Doomsday tease) are actually pretty good and definitely comic accurate.
>>11550171Smart man.
>>11549612>is a chaseThat's pretty stupid considering she was so popular on DC Super Hero Girls - even if it's not going to look the same or be the same, those girls (and boys) are now older and some moved onto into the YA/Teen comic reading audience, if they weren't already there.
>>11549567>>11550169I don't know why Todd ordered a Kaiju mega fig and not one for the Hammer of Borovia? Or even both - they made three mega figs for the Aquaman movie and I believe they made two or three for The Flash. Instead, the only thing we get is the Spin Master, which actually doesn't look bad for under $20 and a 6" figure that articulates.
>>11550463Todd is phoning it in if you couldn't tell. The license is lost, he has no reason to put out quality, comprehensive or complete product anymore. Anyone can look at that $50 Kaiju piece of garbage with Not22 POA and tell.
>>11549567You know I'd have bought another Guy Gardner!
>road trip>middle of nowhere Montana>go in wal ass>both Deathstrokeshell yeah.
>>11549566You know Metamorpho was created in 1965 and looked basically the same, right?
>>11550622These retards don't read comics
>>11550463>Comes with articulated limbs!
>>11550622To be fair, it's Metamorpho. Like "hey, let's put him on the Brave and the Bold, where we can make fun of the silver age" obscure.
Nobody wants a lumpy half pink half orange man in shorts on their shelf.
>>11550739Nicely done.
>>11550657>nigga> wtf>comes> wtf>articulated> wtf
>>11550646the conversations here make that more than obvious - which is sad, considering there's an entire comics and cartoon board that's probably more active than /toys/>>11550659Metamorpho actually was recently in a team book, about five years back, the Terrifics and he's had his own mini that just recently ended - which yes, was probably ordered up as synergy for the movie, but then again, they didn't do a recent mini for Lois, or Jimmy, Guy, or Lex, or a few other people (although yes, for Mr. Terrific).
>>11550463Did they fuck up the legs or something? What is wrong with this thing?
>>11550927Id say its the hips.
>>11550927Action feature. You squeeze the legs together and the torso swivels to make it look like he’s swinging the axe
>>11550659>where we can make fun of the silver ageBrave and the bold is a sincere love letter to the comics
>>11550993It isn't out yet, how does anyone know?
>>11551065They are talking about the cartoon series.
>>11551072This is the pitfall of having many media all with the same name. In 2159, people will be discussing old movies and one will say "I liked Superman" which will prompt questions of Superman from the 1970s, Superman the tv show, Superman from 2025, Superman from 2034, Superman from 2051, Superman from 2077 or Superman from 2099
>>11551096There is only one movie titled Superman.
For double the price, I could get a set of two extra hands. What was Todd thinking making these ROSS store $13 exclusives.
>>11550856>Metamorpho actually was recently in a team book>about five years back
>>11550993What you call a love letter, I call satire and parody.
>>11551178The packaging dimensions add to the price considerably. So you are paying for empty space in the cardboard
>>11551178Is this a joke or am I retarded
>>11551191Regular DC Multiverse version of that figure is roughly 24.99-26.99 and comes with 2 extra hands. If that is truly $13 then yes, its 2 extra hands for double the price.
>>11551188Your objectively wrong.
>Man of Tomorrow. In theatres July 9, 2027.
>>11551223>Lex already getting a redemption arc Fuck Gunns dc
>>11551202Amazing.
>>11551190Yeah, the standard release boxes have more air and since air is currently free those products do cost less. I still havent seen these yet but my ross sucks.
>>11551223Superman rang hollow, because as everything is going downhill, we have no Superman to save us. Everything including toys will be more expensive, more wars will be started and continue, you will have to subscribe to avoid ads, Google will know everything about you, etc. The world is increasingly not solely a place of physical danger that a miraculous flying man can save you from, but insidious hidden danger that destroys people with a thousand cuts of demoralization. And there is no escape.
>>11551260>And there is no escape.Think I’ll just throw my phone away and tend to my chickens anon. Once something step on my property then I’ll have something to legitimately worry about. Can’t do anything so why stress over it.
>>11551260Get a therapist.
>>11551225>redemption arcfuck no, nigga better create the Legion of Doom
>>11551341Only Dr. Doom can create the Legion of Doom.
>>11551225Notice the screws between Lexs legs? The implication is Superman undermining him. >>11551341create the Legion of DoomI bet that is what peacemaker will set up
>>11551181I hate to disappoint you, sister, what with your fingers and thumb on the heartbeat of popular culture, but unless you're big five for marlel or big 7 for dc, most heroes aren't on team books on the regular I mean look at Marlel's most popular character, miles morales, he hasn't been in a team book in like forever. Same for DC's most popular character, Harley Quinn.
>>11551209Your objectively stupid.
>>11551114>one movie titled Superman The MovieFTFY>>11551096>Superman the tv showMaybe in your fan fic future but in the real world there's been five live action Superman TV shows (six if you want to count Krypton, where only his cape - and relatives - appear); none of these live action TV shows are/were 'named' Superman and only 'Superman.'
>>11551422No one really cares about extremely niche stuff like the title actually being "Superman The Movie" or "Superman the TV Show" or whatever. They will still just call it Superman. Only cases like Smallville will be seen as not being called Superman
>>11551422
>>11551428This movie is titled Look Up: Superman
Hasbro followed tOdd
>>11551507Yup. Luckily Mattel will have stable prices at $32-$35
>>11551513That's more than tOdd or Hasbro though. Right now Mattel's prices are lower than both of them, and they should remain so if they want the competitive advantage
>>11551525They’ll be a better value proposition
>>11551529I don't care about accessories. I'd rather no extra hands and 1 accessory for $20. I'm the McFarlane audience from 2020

>>11551202>>11551178I wonder into any one Ross at least once a month to check out their toys, sometimes hitting 2-4 stores in a month just because they are on my way for errands. I've seen many remaindered McFarlanes, Marvel Legends, Bandai, Funko and other crap but never seen any of these Ross Exclusives. It's either a east coast or midwest thing, because y'all don't have Targets or WalMarts or some such.
Boy, dont you act like i dont hear you on my patio at night. I see you out there, articulating or 'posing' , as you freaks call it, all while peeping rhrough my sliding glass Patio door, staring at my multiverse collection. Its disgusting and you are truly a foul creature.

>>11552284Lot of linkin park with some btas and man of steel soundtrack

>>11552436You sound lost anon like you’re looking for somewhere you belong. You need to break your habit of being negative. It’s what I’ve done. For the longest time I was numb. I had given up and was one step closer to burning it down. I was crawling to get back to who I was and it stung like a paper cut but sometimes you just have to bleed it out. In the end you have to dig deep from the inside to truly heal and leave it all the rest of your pain.

>>11552918yes but usually he's making butt loads of those, sweetie
>>11552879>>11552937I have no idea who the review is, but he must not frequently review any DC (at least not McFarlane and not the few Japanese figures I've rarely looked to see reviews) but just skimming that, it's pretty obvious the reviewer pulled his punches a lot as far as informing the audience, likely not wanting to offend InArt so they would give him either more merch or more prototypesIt's also pointless to review, at least in any depth, a prototype, since it's not what end consumers will get. I personally go to these because it a different reference outside McFarlane's shitty boxes, and for other manufacturers, largely because they aren't readily available in hand, and doing a mail order return is a pain in the butt. But I do want to hear about problems, so I am always suspect when they start by "Mattel/Hasbro/McFarlane" "sent me ...."
>>11552957I’m here when you need me.

>>11548559>purple suitSo in Batman V Superman they mistook Lex's entire persona for the Joker's. In "Superman", I guess they just made him a weird tyrannical incel but gave him Joker's ensemble. How is it that the Bruce Timm cartoon is the best depiction of Lex in all of non-comic media???

>>11553221>>11553221Yeh, it's too bad the rest of Smallville was less good in comparison. Did you see the podcast with the two Lexs and Hoult was like "you we MY Lex"? Kinda fun.
>>11553391Rosenbaum's podcast is fun, sometimes
So since you guys are talking about tv shows, should i try doom patrol or the sandman? Ive been curious about them and ive got some free time to fill.
>>11553441I always hear Doom Patrol is really good. Haven't watched it myself, though.
>>11553441I'd pick Doom Patrol but they're both kinda meh. Try the 2014 Constantine.
>>11553441Doom patrol is faggot shit
>>11553441do you enjoy big fat chicks and trannies?
>>11553441I'm kind of meh on both. Doom Patrol I lost interest in, I think, the third season while Sandman I've only seen the first episode of S2 so far and will get back to it whenever. At least Doom Patrol has Kandi/Rita.
>>11553441They're both bad. Doom Patrol became people just swearing constantly, yelling at each other, & feeling sorry for themselves until maybe eventually for one episode or two they actually do something.
>>11553725That's pretty much what Doom Patrol IS, to be fair.
>>11553441Sandman has really high production values, good acting, tight scripts; if you liked the graphic novel collections, you should be able to enjoy this as a lot of stuff was streamlined out and made tighter. I'm surprised a bunch of /poltards haven't chimed in that it was WOKE DEI and should be killed with fire so if that's you, then you can just avoid that. It's far more heterosexual and white than that implies but it seems those white boys are just that fragile.I didn't watch Doom Patrol after S1 (but would recommend that season) because I cancelled my six month Black Friday HBO Max account when the price went up and if it's a DC property, I try not to pirate (like I did for Netflix Sandman) if it shows the suits at Warner Brothers that there is interest in the IP (same for some other things, like Venture Bros, etc.) DP is also WOKE and DEI in a greater sense since there's not really any heterosexuality in later seasons; and the old white man turn out to be the bad guys more often than not. I can't argue against the people who are bitching about S2 onward seasons because I haven't watched it but people here are just very contrary about DC IP in live action and especially cartoons. People here are often obviously not even comic book readers and if they know an adaptation, it's maybe from one movie or even just meme's and GIFs.
>>11553567Do you?
Bought this last night off the daily sale because it actually doesn't have the grease sheen Todd started ordering them to add to figures with this much texture and for $7, I can use it as a basic buck to kit bash plus the lightening accessories.
>>11554003God the head is so lumpy dumpy though. What an ugly thing.
>>11554189I'm planning to replace it. I've plenty of extra heads.
>>11553889>Sandman has really high production values, good acting, tight scripts; if you liked the graphic novel collections, you should be able to enjoy this as a lot of stuff was streamlined out and made tighterwatThey changed a ton of shit to make it cheaper and/or just to change shit just to change shit, which always makes for a shitty adaptation. The duel, dr destiny, and other shit made me drop it almost right away.If Gaiman hadn't been hardup for money for the impeding divorce it probably wouldn't have been made.
>>11553441The Sandman is FANTASTIC. as long as you aren't an uptight butthurt /pol/cel who can't stand any mention whatsoever of LGBTQ and trans (though frankly the original comics hit on those themes itself) you will have a good time watching it. I highly recommend it and Good Omens if you haven't seen that either.
>>11554248Gaiman only got showrunner money and he probably only got a healthy chunk for the first season. WB has repeatedly sold the rights to adapt Sandman for decades now so several people have tried to adapt it.Of course some things had to be changed to execute them. I agree with you that some of it was done to save money (like the fight between Dream and Lucifer in S1) but some of it was never going to be filmed, like the cafe/restaurant murder scene, or the Corinthian's worse shit, because it would be far too violent for something that isn't a pure horror show. I disagree that it was changed just to change, it's clear you didn't like some choices and just don't want to come across and say something like Kirby should be replaced by a white goth chick.Cheap in your parlance is implying Roger Cormen. You're suggesting what was on the screen in Netflix was low budget, low rent, etc. And it was not.And by your own admission, you've only seen 1/4th of both series. There's all sorts of reasons things get changed and some shit is always going to be changed when comics get adapted, look at Galactus until this year and even this year isn't really anything great since it's essentially a X-Men Sentinel sized Galactus, so not anything that hasn't really been seen before for all that some people were creaming in their panties about how we "finally' got a 'comic-accurate' G. You don't like it, fine. But they did streamline 75 fucking issues plus the Death one shot, or 10 trade paperbacks in to about 22+ hours of television.It made it easy for casuals to watch and follow, which is the point of an adaptation, pal.
>>11554448Faggot.
>>11554525WWE is more within your mental range demographic, clearly.
>>11554486>But they did streamline 75 fucking issues plus the Death one shot, or 10 trade paperbacks in to about 22+ hours of television.WAT!They finished the entire series in only 20 episodes? Nevermind that would also mean season 2 would by hyper-condensed, given season 1 was like the first 15 comics.>It made it easy for casuals to watch and follow, which is the point of an adaptationcongratulations for them speedrunning a series, but the only accomplishment they made was making a great series into shit.... which isn't much of an achievement, given hollywood makes shit adaptations a hundred times a yearnevermind sandman was basically canceled at season 1 (gaiman was begging people to watch it so it would get renewed), which means that they undoubtedly cut the budget for season 2. When was the last time anything that had its budget cut and needing to be cut extremely short ever resulted in something good? it's always infuriating for fans.>Cheap in your parlance is implying Roger Cormen. You're suggesting what was on the screen in Netflix was low budget,You're fucking stupid. It's no longer the 80s, so nothing will ever look as cheap as that anymore, thanks to green screen and CGI taking over.But the more things change, the more they stay the same... because they used soooo much green screen because they couldn't afford to shoot on location or even good sets. So just like Roger Cormen shit, you can tell it has low budget because of that. Nevermind the quality of the CGI is shit compared to higher budget stuff, hence hell being so low-rent in the show. And that was season 1... i can only imagine how limited CGI would be in the budget strapped season 2.>like Kirby should be replaced by a white goth chick.The least of Sandman's problems
I often wonder if people regret niche purchases.
>>11554562Sometimes, but it's kind of funny how often I'll pack something away only to rediscover it again years later, then find I want to revive the collection.
>>11554526Faggot.
>>11554562It would be funny to see if things like the battle damaged Coronswet that Todd released actually sold, what was the production run, and so forth. The patina Superboy Prime clearly didn't sell since you see a shitload of them on sites like eBay. Similarly to the jokerized crap. And many more.
>>11554581Why would scalpers buy patina or jokerized? That makes little sense. If they have any clue they'd know collectors don't want that.
So what, the shows based on comics that feature gay and trans themes have gay and trans themes? Idk guys, i think i oughta burn my dvds and netflix subscriptions. I mean i read the comics growing up and im still a straight white guy but maybe watching these adaptations will lead to being a homo or cross dresser. >>11554538I think the show got axed because gaiman is a creep so they just dumped whatever they had into season two. I wasnt aware it was unpopular but i promise you i dont watch tv outside of football or wrestling or metv so im in my own bubble when it comes to current programming. Ill try out a few episodes and report back.
>Look ma no wire!
>>11554562I only buy something if I like it or have some sort of attachment to it. I've purchased random shit before just because it looks cool or fits in with another display, but I never have quite the enjoyment I do from the stuff I do like. For instance, I recently went on a Metroid binge and replayed a bunch of the games, and that prompted me to pull my Metroid Prime 3 Figma Samus off the shelf and futz around with her for the first time in literal years. I do this kind of thing all the time, whenever I am into a particular franchise, I will be prompted to want to play with the figures from that franchise. So I go through and do play with my collection every once in a while, it just depends on what mood I'm in.
>>11554597are we sure?
>>11554597That clearly has a wire in it. It's just badly posed.
>>11554562I regret buying a lot of stuff that I thought looked cool but didn't know who the character was or anything like that. That kind of collecting is how you run out of space fast.
>>11554643Lol
>>11554648How else is the fabric cape up so high on the shoulders?
>>11554655Because of how it’s tucked in
>>11554562We all regret Shazam, anon.
>>11554656That one is laying flatter on the shoulders. It's not arched up as much. Doctor Mid-Nite is a hard sell compared to Batman. They can't afford to cheap out like that.
>>11554677Your so stupid
>>11554597Neat. Now i can focus on getting one instead of fretting my time worrying over wes and scott. Its really lame that the characters i enjoy are stuck with todds bs print runs. But i guess thats the fun of being a multiverse fan.
>>11554680Shut the fuck Jarret
>>11554679*You're
>>11554689Newfag
>>11554646sometimes I bought stuff that looked cool and ended up reading the comic due to it
It's unfortunate the Absolute universe didn't get started until later in Todd's run. Those might've sold despite being non-classic costumes, given that comics line is selling well
>>11554702That's happened to me with some anime stuff. I guesss I meant more like generic stuff that isn't a known character.
>>11554703No. Despite what everyone says absolute is not that popular.
>>11554703Too bad Absolute is absolute trash. Comics in 2025 are in a dire straights. I can't believe I miss the 2000s.
How come no one mentioned this went up this week?
>>11554526mad faggot
>>11554708The print runs seem large, what makes you think it isn't popular? I mean it isn't popular enough to run early DCMV numbers sure, but it could probably sell out with more than the numbers Todd is pushing now
>>11554720>>11548464
>dire straights>your stupid >you’ll like this sandman show as long as you’re a fagDC Gen is teeming with assholes and genuine idiots
>>11554720Because inart exists
>>11554584>maybe watching these adaptations will lead to being a homo or cross dresserSounds like it in your case.
>>11554720It amazes me how many people buy mezcos when their cloth goods usually looks extremely awkward. I guess it works better for tacticool like modern movies but the old stuff really looks bizarre.

So whats up with this anon desperately looking for any sort of engagement like this is some sort of chat room? He sounds like a 13 year old thats bullied in jr high so he comes to toy in order lash out in various generals. Is he zatlits little brother? What are the chances of todd crapping out a morpheus or is gaiman a non starter now? You think legends would ever do a miracleman now? I see coraline seems fairly popular still, and funko did a black orchid so idk where all that stuff stands now. The sandman seems pretty decent so far, im on ep 8 and the adaptation seems good honestly, the dr destiny episode was a bit long winded but no biggie.
>>11554855Still the best live action Batman movie
>>11554855It was.>>11554866This. I like some aspects of Burton's era but Schumacher poisoned the well. Begins made Batman great again.
>>11554906>batman becringe
>>11554938Go back to TikTok
>>11554945youre batman sounds like retard and cant even turn his head and wears braces like a weak ass old bitch
>>11554948>youre batmanI am Batman.
>>11554906Begins was terrible
>>11554677Here's the thing, no one can tell whether it has a wire or not until they open the box. They call it McFarlane's Wire.
>>11554855Looks regal with those clasps
>>11554977I thought it wasn't good either but it was redeemed by the next 2 films. Though Rises had some wonky stuff that called back to Begins too, but it was still enjoyable.
>>11554983I didn't like seeing Batman as a feeble old cripple and Anna Hathway looked like shit with long hair.
>>11554984Faggot
>>11554984yup. this
>>11554977Begins is the best from all three, it's the most faithful to the comics. After that it becomes a Nolan movie, even TDK aged like milk.
>>11554584>I think the show got axed because gaiman is a creep so they just dumped whatever they had into season twoNah, Gaiman is no more or less creepy than the rest of hollywood. He's in their fellowship.The fact that they rushed the last season is simply because Season 1 did so poorly. Like i said, Gaiman was begging people to watch it because the show was too expensive for the low amount of viewers it got. Since it takes so long for a TV show like that to be made, Gaiman getting exposed would have nothing to do with the show getting cut. Budget + planning would have already been made 3-2 years ago and production wouldn't be completed until maybe 6 months ago. So there's really not enough time even cut the show short, because everything but the CGI/editting would be finished and Gaiman already got paid.That guy claims that Sandman season 2 crammed the remaining 55 comics worth of stories into 10 episodes and that's just classic hollywood butchery.
>>11555010Gaiman is Jewish so I can't agree
>>11555007>even TDK aged like milk.I just watched it again this year and still liked it although the climax was not that great unfortunately, I don't know what I remembered but it wasn't so anti-climactic as the reality.
I've gotta wonder how long some of these digital pegwarmers are going to persist at BBTS. Their warehouse must have hundreds.

>>11555050That shriek is easily top 10 mcfarlane dc mv
>>11555062I do, thats why I am looking at sales on toys.>>11555089I heard people praising Shriek when it came out but I think the fact that its the unmasked version that turns people off. Most who wanted it probably got the masked one
>>11554597They used a ton of new tooling for...Doctor Mid-Nite. Very strange choice.
>>11555050>>11555084Unless they are buying new shit, it's not like the warehouse is going to suddenly shrink. They also probably can't stock up on a lot of new product until they unload some of it.>>11555092that's exactly why I bought the Hot Pursuits for $7; there's a two pack I want and this gives me two months to find other shit to buy, maybe even something for the Secret Santa here, if I decide to do that for one of these /toy/ idiots again.>>11554601asshole here and elsewhere will act like this isn't normalish behavior. I used to collect import music and I digitized it all before I unloaded all of it during a cross country mood, because most was vinylEver so often I get in the mood and want to listen to it but it's not something I listen to everyday. I'm still not going to get rid of it. To be fair, plastic takes up space. Those of us who have storage or don't live in some hell hole basement can manage, but that's not everybody.

>>11554725and a hearty unga bunga to you, my gentle retard.
>>11554720probably because it looks like crap, Anon.
>>11554977Begins was the best and most believable of the Nolan Batman movies. TDK is way overrated and DKR is a trainwreck of bad casting and horrible script/timing. Only "The Batman" has been worse than DKR.
>>11555343TDK only got popluar because Heath died. If that hadn't happened everyone would've moved on.
>>11555472I agree. I liked it OK as a movie, but it was nowhere near worth the hype it got.

>>11555764Yes.
>>11555764thats just the toddfather being real with his fans, showing even a god can be imperfect.
>>11555763Only if you trust the blue raised part in the back is actually part of the cape and not a shopped in background. And I don't trust their promo images as they play with lighting and backgrounds. I only trust the white background pics from McFarlane and they likely won't indicate if its wired--plus they only get released when it goes up.

>>11555795He’s right. You can see the wire flexing.
>>11555824I'm not 100% convinced that lump is a wire. Maybe like 60%. It could be, but I would really like them to show the capes flowing using the wire in the foreground (not background) so it can be confirmed. It doesn't much matter to me as I wouldn't buy this figure anyway though. There's not too much left on my Toddlist, and depending on headsculpts and such it could all be skipped.

>>11555623This Earth 2 Batman is from the New 52 era when they rebooted Earth 2 along with the rest of DC. This was the universe where Clark, Bruce and Diana are killed of by Darkseid's minions in the first issue. This is where younger versions of Jay Garrick, Alan Scott (the first time they made him gay) and Kendra Saunders. Eventually Power Girl made it back to Earth 2 as thats the earth the New 52 version of her hailed from, a new black Superman stepped into the picture and Earth 2 Dick Grayson took up the mantle of Batman. This is that Dick Grayson's Batman costume. Normally, I'd rag on you guys for not knowing this, but you had to read the ass Convergence event and it was terrible. Along with most of the New 52 Earth 2 stuff.
